Yes, already in the sources (*) of R at
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/base/man/timezones.Rd
We (Kurt \in {R-core}) do regularly (but not daily!) check all our URLs
--- as they are also checked for all CRAN packages -- and so
found and fixed the problems there.
So, (in the future) you can look into the development sources to
see if a URL problem has already been addressed.
Still, of course "thank you!" for noticing and caring about it!
Best,
Martin
